A tourist map.C. A museum guide.D. A news report.BIn the 1700s, a scientist was someone who thought about the way things work and tried to find out ways to make things work better. Today. that definition (定义) is still true. Every time Ben Franklin saw a question andtried to answer it. he was a scientist. Ben is most famous for his questions about electricity, hut he also experimented with many other ideas in nature.In 1743. Ben observed that northeast storms begin in the southwest. He thought it was strange that storms travel in an opposite direction to their winds. He predicted that a storm's course could be charted (绘制). Ben rode a horse through a storm and chased a whirlwind three-quarters of a mile in order to learn more about storms. So, in a way, Ben was a weatherman too!Since Ben spent so much time sailing go Europe across the Atlantic Ocean, he became very interested in both ocean currents and shipbuilding .Ben was actually one of the first people to chart the Gulf Stream.In November of 1783. Ben happened to be in Paris, France, working on a peace tre"0' (条约) to end the American war against England. From his hotel window. he was able to watch the world's first known hot-air balloon flight. The balloon lifted the Montgolfier brothers off the ground as the first human beings ever known to fly. Ben ,vas very interested in the idea of flight, predicting that one day balloons would be used for milita0 (军事的) spy flights and dropping bombs during battle. Soon. balloons were actually being used for entertainment. military, and scientific purposes. Even though they could not yet be steered, many people volunteered to take a ride just for fun! Sadly, Ben Franklin died three years before the first American hot-air balloon voyage. In 1793, Jean-Pierre Blanchard lifted off from the Walnut Street Prison Yard in Philadelphia, beginning the hot-air balloon craze in America.25. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Ben Franklin was a true scientist.B. Ben Franklin could hardly be called a scientist.C. Ben Franklin was most interested in electricity.D. Ben Franklin was only interested in things in nature.26. Ben Franklin went to Paris in November of 1783 to——．A. sign a treatyB. have a talk with BritainC. seek support from FranceD. experiment with hot-air balloons27. When Ben Franklin saw the first known hot-air balloon flight, he predicted hot-air :Balloons______．A. would be a risky sportB. could be used in wars'C. couldn't be widely used in the futureD. could be mostly used for entertainment28. We can infer from the last paragraph that Ben Franklin ______A. introduced hot-air balloons to AmericaB. saw the hot-air balloon flight by accidentC. was not interested in hot-air balloons at firstD. made a wrong prediction about hot-air balloonsc .The bell rings and in a few moments. the most disordered part of the day begins-lunch. Food begins to be dished out. and some students are eager to see their friends. while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxie0,(焦虑) builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships. There's hardly room for the question, "Will you save me a seat?" at Britiport Elementary where students are guided to assigned(指定的) tables and given the. opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend. The school's president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were leftalone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change.The school gives a new system- in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before getting their food. Each stick has a number that's linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria. you wouldn't find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity （包容) and friendship.People really saw a change. A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand. and four tables asked her to join them. At another table. a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few moments before two sixth graders came over to sit with him. and actively included him in conversation.Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation.29. What inspjred the president of Bridport Elementary to introduce the system?A. Students didn't speak to friends at a table.B. Students didn't manage to get a seat in the cafeteria.C. Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd.D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.30. Why couldn't w e find any numbers or any sticks in the cafeteria?A. Because students were tired of them.B. Because they didn't work out as expected.C. Because they were replaced by something else.D. Because there was no need for them any more.31. How is the fifth paragraph mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving examples.C. By giving instructions.D. By showing research findings.32. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the text?A. The benefits of the system.B. The disadvantages of the system.C. The wider use of the system.D. The lessons learned from the system.DWelcome to one of the largest collections of footwear (鞋类) in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits(展品) from all over the world. You can find out about shoes worn by everyonefrom the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.33.

APeople all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood，but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend：Always honestHonesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories._________________There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. He may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.Always respectful (尊敬的)A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.Always understandingIt is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的) and understanding，even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.1.What’s the best title for the third paragraph?A.

Remember your important days2.According to the passage，a true friend will always _________________ .A. follow your adviceB. offer a solution to your problemsC. listen immediately to your problemsD. respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.

It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.“I‟ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband‟s eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.The wife continued to read until she had read all three pa ges to her husband. “Now, you read your list and then we‟ll talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said happily.Quietly the husband stated, “I don‟t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect. I don‟t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn‟t want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don‟t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?5. Why were there tears in the husband‟s eyes when the wife read his annoyances?A. Because he had no courage to face his shortcomings.B. Because he never thought he had so many annoyances in his wife‟s eyes.C. Because he was sorry that he didn‟t find any annoyance about his wife.D. Because he didn‟t think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.6. After hearing the husband‟s words, the wife felt _________. .A. moved and ashamedB. sad and disappointedC. satisfied and proudD. surprised and confused7. The story is intended to tell us that ___________. .A. disappointment cannot be avoided in our lifeB. young couples should be more tolerant (宽容的) to each otherC. we should turn a blind eye to other people‟s blameD. we should try to look for and see the wonderful things around usCI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. In the end ,I said, “ Son, rem ember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don‟t you think there‟s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I‟m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn‟t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn‟t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔的), by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That‟s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn‟t happened to fall a sleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he‟d never have won the race. That‟s for sure.”I gave up. Today‟s children are not like what we used to be. They‟re just hopeless.8. The writer argued with his son because ______________.A. he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC. he tried to teach his son a moral (品德) lesson but the son had totally differentopinionD. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn‟t.9.

Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.A. boys who were unknown to Sonny‟s fatherB. boys who Sonny has run races with beforeC. boys who Sonny has never raced with beforeD. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again11. According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson?A. The tortoiseB. SonnyC. The hareD. Sonn y‟s fatherDPeople have always been wondering about what our future will look like. Go on reading this text, and you will know what will happen in the next fifty years.How can we know what the future will look like? To be able to understand the future, you must know the past. What has taken us to where we are today and what has changed along the way? The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago. Will this change in the next 150 years? No.What inventions have really made a difference in the last 150 years? In the past years, the inventions that have affected most people around the world for everyday living are the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, the car and the ability to communicate through the Internet. Then we of course have a lot of inventions that have made life easier, like new medicine, faster transports etc. In general, human beings have been working hard in the last 150 years to make the inventions so that they will be able to get control of the time and the world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.Why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: first we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation, and then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.12. What does the author try to tell us in the second paragraph?A. Our basic needs will not change in the future.B. The world is quite different from what it was.C.

The decisions we make for our future.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He said, “Wolfie was more than just a pet to me.” Wolfie died two years ago, at the age of 15. But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away, Onruang had plans to bring them back to life. Onruang said, “I buried them at home. Each time I visit them, I say, …Hi, I‟m making a new body for you.‟”Finally, Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio, which can and will clone animals. Onruang collected his dogs‟ stem cells (干细胞), and then he started a website , so he could earn and save the $310,000 that the cloning would cost.The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble. When the cloning process is done, Onruang may end up with several clones of each dog. But Onruang admits he‟s still not sure that they will be exactly the same.Scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep named Dolly, in 1996 in Scotland. That project has raised ethical (伦理的) questions about where science should draw the line. Another question is whether such technique will lead to a day when humans could be cloned.“If I had an opportunity to clone myself, I would do it readily,” Onruang said. “Because it‟s me, I‟m raising myself. I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses. This person is going to be the new and improved me, and will live the life I‟ve always wanted to live.”21.

Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.

When he saw it, he concealed the caveentrance and stayed there, guarding it.From that day on, the man hid all his valuables in the cave, and to avoid anyone suspecting he was rich, he gave up his job, his home, and his friends. He constantly watched the approaches to his cave, wanting no one to find out about it. Fearing thieves, he guarded the cave all night long.He was so devoted to the cave that he hardly ate or drank. Before long, he fell ill. Many days passed, and he got thinner and sicker, losing all his strength. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he realized that it was his greed that had brought him to this extreme end. He understood that guarding his treasure had been of no use and no good. He decided to share it with others.He crawled(爬) into the cave to fetch some jewels, but discovered that the cave was almost empty. All he could find was a small emerald (绿宝石). He took it and left the cave, intending to give it to the first person passing by. Soon a woman approached and accepted the e merald with great joy. The man said to her, “I could have given you many more riches, but I don‟t know where they went. This is all I have now.”“Are you sure there‟s nothing else?” replied the woman. The man shook his head and pointed to the cave. He found that some riches were still there; he saw some gold coins. He said, “Take them with you.” The woman took both the emerald and the coins, and went away happily.In a while, an old man passed by and asked the man what he was doing there. The man replied, “What bad luck! Just a moment ago I gave a woman the few riches left over from the treasure I was guarding.”“Are you sure there‟s nothing else?” The old man asked him.The man showed him the cave, and they found a box filled with jewels and gold. The man was shocked. The old man explained to him, “At last! At last someone has freed himself from the spell(咒语) of this cave. You see, this is a magic cave, and you‟re the first to pass its great test. Many people have devoted their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there‟s nothing here ...”“And why does this happen?” said the man. “Why does the trea sure appear and disappear?”“My son, this magic cave has as many riches as does your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they all devote themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts begin emptying, and so does the cave. The only way to fill it is to fill your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving that last jewel to the woman. That‟s the reason why the cave was filling up again ...”And so, the man understood it was better to share than to keep things to himself. And, from that day, thanks to the cave and the old man, the man became ever more noble (高尚的) and generous.32.
